lyrics

/// An aging rockstar needs the money ///

I take care of hotel rooms now
Cause buddy, I'll be here all week
Can I pay with my integrity?
This fungal life, it's clung to me
Rolling down my peak
Made me scenery, made me legacy
Hammering the high life
Has nailed me to the floor
Well I don't like music anymore!
Hell's a reunion tour!

The backup's always better than me
Hungrier than me, nicer than me
And these pricks I prayed I'd never see again
Oh wishful thinkers, come lend a hand
Shriveled and severed to me
To carry me out to sea and then back again (heave ho!)
Off the stage there's silence
And on the stage there's more
Cause I don't like music anymore!
I'll die on reunion tour!

Well didn't I pay through the pages of tell-all books?
Car radios atop moonlit overlooks
You make me sign my name in horror
But didn't I pay when I played in those anti-prom memories?
The learning guitar to our melodies
You can choke on that biro cause I owe you nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing!

No more classics now, here's the newer stuff
Here's what comes to pass when you're not living fast enough
To die of natural causes
Like rock and roll before
Til I don't like music anymore!
A forever reunion tour!
